No U.S.-Iran Deal if Gulf Countries Don\u2019t Adhere to Abraham Accords: Trump<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nCurrently, Graham is in Madrid, where he will be the main guest of the Festival of Hope, a massive gathering of evangelical worshippers that has generated controversy due to the mix of religious praise with ultraconservative political stances and criticisms of the rights of women and the LGBTQ+ community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Graham\u2019s image appears on posters, buses, and billboards throughout the Spanish capital. The preacher maintains that his goal is not to make evangelical disciples, but to share with the people of Spain how they can have a personal relationship with God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regarding the timing of his event coinciding with Pope Leo XIV\u2019s upcoming visit to Madrid, Graham maintains that it is simply a coincidence. \u201cPeople in Europe and Spain want to know what God has to say. They don\u2019t care so much about what the church has to say, but rather what God has to say,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On social issues, Graham defended his traditional view of marriage and sexuality. \u201cSex is not love,\u201d he affirmed, adding, \u201cGod made the sexual relationship for a man and a woman in a marital relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although he assured that \u201cthe LGBTQ+ community is absolutely welcome\u201d at his events, he maintained that \u201cI would be doing them a great disservice if I didn\u2019t tell them the truth and what God has to say.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regarding his relationship with Trump, Graham clarified that he does not interfere in government policy decisions. \u201cWhen I am invited to be with him at the White House, I want to share with him the truth of God\u2019s word,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked if Trump sees himself as \u201cthe savior of the United States,\u201d the pastor avoided answering directly: \u201cThat\u2019s a difficult question. I haven\u2019t had that conversation with him, so I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Graham defended Trump\u2019s actions in the Middle East, and although he did not explicitly define himself as a Christian Zionist, he justified the alliance between evangelicalism and Judaism from a biblical perspective: \u201cThe Bible is very clear that God gave the land of Canaan, or present-day Israel, to the Jews.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, he clarified that \u201cthe Jewish state of today is not a biblical state, it is a secular state,\u201d and therefore considered it necessary to be very careful, because they do not necessarily represent God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Graham attributed responsibility for the Gazan conflict to Iran, although he acknowledged that what has happened to the Palestinian people is tragic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
